Granite Hall, and so obnoxious and
offensive has it become that many respect
able people have of late remained away
from entertainments rather than to be so
disturbed. The custom is this, whether it's
opera or theatre, concert or exhibition,
long before the curtain rises and when
ever there is an opportunity during the
performance, portion of the audience
makes itself offensive by indulging in
whistling, loud yelling. course exclama-
tons, slang and sometimes. expressions
bordering upon profanity, making a bed
lam of confusion that would stagger the
other portion of the audience had it never
been treated to such exhibitions of semi.
civilized enthusiasm. Proper applause is
always in place when called forth, but this
custom is decidedly out of place, and it's
time that it was done away with. 1t
is getting to be disgraceful and unless
there are measures taken to end it,
the appearance of an opera or
theatre company or the announcement
OF an exhibition will be taken as the signal
for a riotous demonstration as soon as the
audience fills the hall. Parents, instruc-
tors, police and the direct management of
the hall, should have a hand in sup
pressing this custom, make it home
matter in this way and not by neglecting
it allow some manager of an entertain
ment. entering complaint to quiet the dis
turbances by transferring his obnoxious
audience to the police station.

Something of a sensation was caused in
Baltimore political circles by the appear.
ance in the morning papers Friday last, of
affidav,ts of two prominent and trustworthy
business men of another city, revealing
the plans of the German ring for carrying
that city at the coming election. These
men were in an adjoining room at hotel,
to that occupied by Senator German and
associates. who had met to talk "busi.
ness" and, overhearing loud conversation,
they listened and obtained some very use
tul Information. The number of voters to
be DISTINGUISHED, the distribution of these
voters, the funds on hand and to be OBJ
tanned, and the manner of the expenditure
of the same, are among the interesting
items. The Information was first given
to the Reform League. and that body has
taken steps to prevent the ring from eff
fecting its plans. Senator German, how
ever, is placed in q very uncomfortable pc
sition, and it is very likely that he will be
proceeded against in the courts, as he is
guilty of sufficient fraudulent manipula-
ton to afford the league a strong case.

The best medical writer's claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be
non-irritating. easy of application, and one
that will by its own action, reach all the
remote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past few years obliges us to admit that
only one remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm,
This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely concede
this fact The more distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it.

The Augusta Age argues at length that
importers OF liquors have the right to sell
in this State. That undoubtedly has been
the popular impression, and it is evident
from the wording of some of our statutes
that some of our legislatures have enter
tanned this idea. The question has never,
we think, been authoritatively decided by
our Supreme Court, though several dict,n'S
have certainly seemed to sustain the i'm
porters' view. But dictanaS are not con-
elusive. When the question is presented
directly to the court and the court decides
in the affirmative. then it can be said that
importers have the right to sell, but at
the present time there is no direct decision
or statute excepting them from the opera
ton of the general law. 1t they are ex
cepted the burden of proof IS upon them
to show it.-POntand Press.

The census of Kansas made by the
township trustees and city assessors last
March has just been compiled by the
Secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture and shows the population OF the
state to be 1878, 255. As the national
census OF 1880 gave the State population
OF 996 .096, there has been an increase in
seven years of 522, l59, and the probability
is that in 1890 Kansas will have nearly
1000 900 of people within its borders.
The growth of Dakota and some of the
other territories does not appear to have
affected Kansas as it has other States in
that neighborkood. The State has now
seven representatives in Congress, but its
present population would entitle it to ten,
and it will probably be given that number
in the next apportionment, whatever basis
tor representatives in Congress may be
adopted The rapid growth in population
and material prosperity of Kansas during
the past five years certainly disproves the
claim of the liquor interest that prohibit
ton would rum the State.

When President Cleveland was accused
by the Sun of having plagiarized and OF
having his "extemporaneous" speeches
printed before he left Washington, Public
Printer Benldect came to the rescue and
denied that they were printed in his office.
But in doing so he was unwise enough to
abuse a printer whom he suspected of
having furnished the information. The
printer got somewhat indignant and fur
nished copies of the speeches in question
and thus threw the lie in Benidect's teeth.
We should not wonder but that the Sun
could tell some other things if it should
take a notion.
